Maria and his coach Jones left John's house as they finished their dinner and headed towards the Varanasi airport. Sangakkara told Maria that he would meet her again as soon as he reaches Srilanka. Maria and his coach Jones got blessings from Riya's grandparents before saying goodbye and leaving. Maria hugged and told Riya before leaving that she is expecting to spend some time with her after she comes to Srilanka.

The night went by and the most important day arrived for Riya. Riya and his whole family were very busy in packing the bags and things for Riya as she is about to leave the village with Sangakkara to Srilanka.

As every coin has two sides, Riya's family was going through mixed emotions of happiness and sadness. Deep inside the heart, everyone was hiding their sadness as they will be separated from their most beloved daughter Riya. But they were also happy as they thought that she would definitely become a great person in the future.

Sangakkara then arrived to pick Riya along with him. There was a lot of advice and presents were waiting for Riya. Her grandparents advised Riya that to never compromise anything in the future if it is wrong and also to remember that they are always there for her. They presented her with the only gold chain they had with the blessings and kissed her.

Then her mother told her that not to worry about anything and do not take any pressure if she feels anything is out of her proportion. She gave her the blanket which she stitched by her own hand and embroidered with the title in Hindi stating Riya Hamari superstar meaning that Riya is our superstar. Then his father John told Riya that she should never give up irrespective of any situation and should be honest to herself. He presented Riya with a diary in which she used to write her ambitions and asked her to recall whenever she feels like giving up.

So Riya collected all the presents and was looking for her two younger brothers Smith and Michael. But she couldn't see them. Suddenly everyone noticed that Smith and Michael are not there. Now the time for a flight is also getting near. Her parents decided to leave as they may get late and said that they will inform her brothers. But Riya and Sangakkara were hesitating to leave, as they are left with no option they decided to depart.

John informed Rahul's family to look over his sons when they reach back home as they are leaving to bus stand to bid Riya and Sangakkara. Rahul and all his family too blessed Riya and wished her for best in the future. Then all of them left for the bus stop.

Everyone was waiting for a bus at the bus stand. Meanwhile, Smith and Michael reached home and they found out from Rahul's family that the others have left for the bus stand. They felt very disappointed and started crying. Rahul's father inquired about them. Smith told that they both went to make a frame for the family photo with the savings which they had. They said that they wanted to gift her elder sister Riya as they will miss her for a long time. Michael told that he and his brother Smith are really disappointed as they can't give their sister this photo. Rahul's father asked them not to worry as he will take them to the bus stand. They got a little happy but they were worried that the bus shouldn't leave the bus stand.

While they reached the bus stand, the bus began to depart. Smith and Michael ran into the bus and gave Riya their gifts. Riya kissed both of the brothers and told them that she would come soon. Riya told that she had also kept one surprise for her brothers in their bedroom. Previously she painted the picture which looked like they three are together and wrapped it before leaving. Also, she asked them to study properly too and told them they are special for her. The bus finally departed and arrived at Varanasi airport.

Riya was having combined feelings of happiness as well as sadness in leaving her village. Riya and Sangakkara both checked in and boarded the plane.

Sangakkara told Riya not to worry about anything as he will be there with her in any situation. He just asked her to focus on her goals.

Soon the airplane took off. It was Riya's first time in flight, so she was so excited and at the same time had a fear. As time went she couldn't withstand the noise in the sky. Soon Sangakkara realized it and he gave his earbuds to Riya. She felt a little better. Riya was telling all her favorite things to Sangakkara and was also explaining about the different persons in the village. Finally, Riya and Sangakkara reached the Srilanka.
For Riya reaching the Srilanka to achieve her goal was like the person who lost his way in the jungle and finally founded it. Riya was so happy and excited to reach Srilanka.

What are the challenges waiting for Riya in Srilanka? Will it be comfortable for Riya just because she was brought by Sangakkara? Will Maria be her support system in Srilanka? Wait to know the answers to these questions. Stay tuned for more updates.
